How to find a stolen Samsung galaxy y? - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

One of my close friend had lost his Samsung galaxy y and it has been stolen! Can anybody tell me how it can be recovered? if anybody knows the process please give me a total guide line!!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

did you enable the native samsung remote control?
do you have any anti-theft or tracking app installed?
if not then you will not be able to locate your stolen phone
last hope would be to contact your government telecommunications agency and see if they can permanently deactivate the phone using IMEI

Do you know about the Android lost app ? Can it be useful? I think his Google account is still checked in! Isn't there any way?

did he install the app on his phone before it was stolen?
if not then the phone is untrackable

somewhere i read that, this apps can be pushed in to a stolen device where it's not pre-installed! i can't remember where i read it or how it can be done! do you know anything about it?

yes it can be done,
however you need to install the remote-control app before the device was stolen,
like AirDroid,
and it needs to be on or activated before it was stolen,
other than that there is nothing more you can do,
just contact your local government telecommunications agency and see what they can do

Opps! Thanks for your helpful responses dear!!
And if you get time please explain the steps how can a person secure his own phone ,that can help him to recover it later! I've no idea so I need a detail!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

the best way to protect a phone is vigilance and care,
never leave your phone unattended,
never show your phone is crowded and public places,
never use the phone in the toilet,
never text while driving,
never put your phone in the bed when you sleep,
etc...etc...etc...
anyways sorry for your friend's loss,

Ha Ha Ha! You are funny enough! thanks for your nice advices! I'll follow your every words!! But one thing dear, how can I follow the ’etc...etc...etc' ? what does it mean??

We can't help you until you give the info we're asking for. Who did you go to? What model is your nexus? What rom are you running? "All rom" doesn't count. Rooted?
I actually have a guy in mind who can fix your phone (I think)!! I read about him in some old book, dude has a soft voice, creeps some people out with his hippy message (all that crap about peace and love!) And was a carpenter before. He's really famous, most people visit him on Sundays, he's like the clean up guy from "Michael Clayton ". I'll talk to him, if he's not busy he'll pm you.

about rooting

I just wanted to give my opinion about rooting, I'm sure a lot of people like to do so, but on this device I don't think that you need to, I did a root on my .gs1 because of lag, then my arc needed more then root lol but my sgs 3 so far the best phone that I ever seen, not perfect, but as for lag, battery life, speed its top!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There a a ton of reasons to root besides lag.
I have an app that requires root that keeps my clock in sync with the actual atomic clock time. The system clock will, over time, be too fast or too slow which means that eventually my phone is a few minutes off.
I have an app that requires root that is used to freeze/quarantine bloatware.
I have an app that requires root that allows me to backup not only my applications, but the application data as well.
I also enjoy root for custom ROMs and kernels that have less lag/stutter than the phone normally does (and yes, this still applies to the Samsung Galaxy S3).
There are always reasons to root.
I understand, I'm not saying not too, for me if the phone is good I'm leaving it stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Root no >> then no Nandroid and No TB no Ad Blocker . No push apps .

Rooting has absolutely nothing to do with reducing lag or anything at all performance wise.
Rooting just gives you superuser permissions on your device.
Even if you are running an octo core phone with 5gb of ddr3 ram, rooting still offers benefits.

I fail to see the reason for this topic.
You choose not to root your phone and seem to have no idea what rooting actually means.
Fine by me, why should I or anyone else care what you personally do and do not do with your phone?
ok I have another question is there a root where could just download an app like a old g s one?

I rooted because the T-Mobile not sound was annoying. Without root, I couldn't get rid of it. Also ad block needed to be done.

Galaxy Phones are hard to hardbrick (not revivable through simple software and/or a 2$ USB-Jig)
By following the instructions in the General section ('following' meaning 'reading', not 'assuming' or 'trying') you're on a quick and painless root.

good app.. but it requires you to create a group and wen u hit the cal button everyone in ur list are called up simultaneously.. it would have been better if we could select individually each time we needed to call.

Same question i'd ask aswell, i'm definitely in a supported country, but when i try to call it prompts an intial charge fee, i'm i doin something wrong or does it not recognize my location even though i turned my gps on?
Its is free for first ten calls daily...so use it for all your long calls...
hope I helped
Nope it is free for one to one calls but limited for one to group calls....
